Magoosh students are offered admission to top programs including:

I purchased a couple Manhattan Prep books, ETS's Official Guide, different phone apps, etc. yet I ended up using Magoosh's online application almost exclusively. I work full time and was only able to study after work and weekends. I was exhausted most nights after work before I even sat down to study... without the structure that Magoosh provides I would not have been able to be nearly as effective. I did not want to take the test more than once and my target was a 330. I scored a 331; what else can I say? Magoosh was literally a fraction of the price of the other paid resources. It has everything you need, trust me.

Magoosh was fantastic. I will admit, I was a little skeptical- why would this sketchy online GRE course with a heavily self-promoting blog and a weird name be any good. But I heard some good things, and the price was good, so I was willing to give it a shot. I didn't want to pay upwards of $1000 for a Manhattan course, and was willing to take a risk. And I couldn't be happier with how things turned out. The lessons were spot on, and broke out the key components very well. The practice questions and exams were accessible and good. And the explanations for each question helped a lot, since practice is such a big component of a good score. I think that I had the same learning/prep experience, if not better, than all of my friends that paid for Manhattan.

Magoosh is sooo helpful, not only the practices and tutorials, but also the iPhone/iPad apps that come with it. I can't imagine taking the test without Magoosh prep. I'm sure I could score even higher on verbal if I had more time devoting to it. Anyways, I absolutely love magoosh and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is going to take GRE.

Magoosh practice questions helped me cover tested topics and get used to the pace required to attempt all questions on the test. The video and test explanations accompanying the questions were very helpful whenever a doubt arose.
I followed the study plans provided on the website, and stuck to the recommended material. It worked very well for me.

I used it to structure my study plan (I used the one month stretched out over 6 weeks) and track my progress

Magoosh helped me a lot with the tips about learning and memorizing vocabulary. My reading comprehension also improved.

Practice a lot of problems, maybe I regret not to learn all the lessons.

I really appreciated the large number of questions, each with its own explanation video. Furthermore, I think the flashcards apps were of great use.

Magoosh provided me with a lot of practice questions without having to wait to buy a book (I live abroad) and that was really useful.

The videos explaining the questions are really helpful. The arrangement of math lessons are constructive and friendly, that I've picked up those concepts without feeling frustrated.

I think Magoosh helped me a lot because of the unique questions in Magoosh. Like math, the questions are full of traps so that you have to be more cautious. And the average difficulty of verbal section, in my view, is harder than that in actual GRE test. Though I'm not a native speaker, I still regard Magoosh as my first choice. I would take GRE test a few months later again to improve Verbal points.

This has become my favorite test prep tool. The comprehensive explanation for each problem was a big plus.

Introduced me to the test itself and explained unfamiliar concepts. Great software, now hoping for the material to lift my second GRE to a 165/165 level.

I focused just on the math videos. I'd used prep books from the library (Kaplan, Barron's, etc.) before my first attempt at the GRE and was very disappointed in my math score--they didn't prepare me for the type of math I actually encountered, while Magoosh did. I didn't find Magoosh until too late in the game the first time around, and I also thought going through the prep books and free websites would suffice. This is definitely worth paying for. I didn't have much time to prepare for a retake; had I, I anticipate my math score would've gone up even higher. Given the short amount of time I had (what equated to less than 3 weeks), improving 4 points was good.
